Its a battle of over 1,100 horsepower as British Supercar magazine Evo somehow managed to secure the only 2013 Shelby GT500 in Europe to put it up against Mercedes’ C63 AMG coupe. Comparing both vehicles, the Shelby GT500’s is powered by a 662 horsepower supercharged V8 as the C63 AMG coupe is powered by a naturally aspirated 451 horsepower 6.3-liter V8.

What may seem like a David vs. Goliath type battle actually turns out to be a lot closer than you might think but in the end the horsepower advantage of the GT500 rules the road. Check out the video below to see the drag race.
